And Levant said the worst thing of all about the incident was it happened without the intervention of police.

“I do not believe that it was a random accident that there were no police. I believe that it was the chief of police or the mayor himself who were making a political decision not to inflame a mob,” Levant told the crowd of more than 600.

“To this day, the chief of police and the mayor and the police commission have not sufficiently condemned the riot.”
